TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to product displays, displaydevices, and display systems, and, more particularly, relates to productdisplays, display devices, or display systems capable of holdingmultiple products.

BACKGROUND

Blister packs are a type of packaging that include a cavity or pocketinto which a product (or portion of a product) is housed and a backing.The term “blister pack” can refer to a variety of packaging that has apre-formed plastic pocket or shell (where a product sits securelywithin) that is, in some instances, heat-treated or sealed to a backing.In some instances, the cavity or pocket is typically made of a formableweb or thermoformed plastic, and the backing is typically made ofpaperboard, metal foil, or plastic. An exemplary blister pack is shownin FIG. 1. There are many types and variations of blister packs, and allare meant to be included in the scope of the present disclosure. Theseinclude, for example, face seal blister packs, full face seal blisterpacks, trapped blister packs, full card blister packs, clamshells, mockclamshells, two-piece clamshells, tri-fold clamshells, skin packaging,stretch packaging, etc.

Blister packs have many advantages. Blister packs can hold one or moreproducts within them. Blister packs are useful in clearly showing thecustomer what is inside the packaging (since the blister is often clearso the customer can see the item's size, shape, color, etc) while alsoprotecting the product inside the packaging against external factors,such as, for example, dirt, humidity, light, and other potentialcontamination. Some products that are packaged in blister packs include,for example, small consumer products such as hooks, makeup, toys, babyproducts, etc. and pharmaceuticals in the form of pills.

Consumer products packaged in blister packs are often displayed in storeon a peg that extends at an angle to a back wall or display. The blisterpacks are hung on the peg. This peg display is often used because theblister packaging makes stacking the products on a shelf difficult.Further, the peg display allows the consumer/customer to see the productin the packaging head-on whereas stacking the products vertically on ashelf only show the consumer/customer a side view of the packaging ofthe item being sold.

SUMMARY

The inventors of the present disclosure recognized some drawbacks to theexisting blister pack display systems. For example, where the blisterpacks are hung on a peg, once all of the products hung on the peg havebeen removed/purchased, a store worker must manually replace themone-by-one by hand. This is time-consuming and thus expensive.

Further, while blister packs have many benefits, they also have somedrawbacks. For example, blister pack packaging is not typicallyrecyclable because of their thermoformable plastic content. Also, theblister portion of the packaging often takes a significant amount ofspace, making efficient and cost-effective shipping and packagingchallenging.

As such, the inventors of the present disclosure sought a morecost-effective display device or system in which products could bedisplayed and/or replenished. The inventors of the present disclosuresought embodiments in which manufactures, retailers, and stores couldobtain the benefits of blister packaging without the drawbacks. As such,the inventors of the present disclosure invented a product display orproduct display system having a front face that holds one or moreblister packs and one or more corresponding compartments behind theblister pack to hold a plurality of the product shown in the blisterpack. Such a display system offers the advantages of theconsumer/customer being able to clearly see the product in thecompartment through the blister pack on the front of the display whilealso making possible faster replenishment and the ability to userecyclable or more efficient packaging. In some embodiments, the one ormore compartments can include the product in packaging other thanblister pack packaging (for example, product not in packaging, in bags,in recyclable packaging, in a box, etc). In some embodiments, the one ormore compartments can include the product in blister pack packaging.Once the product in the compartment has all been sold/removed, it canquickly and easily be replenished/restocked by pouring the product outof a bag or box into the compartment, eliminating the time-consumingstep of putting blister packs of the product on a peg one-by-one.Further, in some embodiments, the display device or system includesmultiple compartments and can thus be used to display multiple products.Further, the display system can be reused and/or the products it holdscan be changed with time. In some embodiments, each compartment of thecorresponding type of blister pack may be used for sale of acorresponding type of product to end user, thereby providing efficientutilization of space. In some embodiments, each compartment may berefilled multiple times with one or more of the corresponding type ofblister packs when exhausted, in turn, improving usable life of theproduct display.

Some embodiments of the product displays or product display systems ofthe present disclosure relate to product displays for multiple types ofproducts. The product display includes a front wall having a pluralityof openings corresponding to a plurality of blister packs. Each of theplurality of openings is configured to receive a portion of acorresponding blister pack therethrough. The product display includes arear wall spaced apart from the front wall. The product display alsoincludes a pair of side walls spaced apart from each other and extendingbetween the front wall and the rear wall. The product display furtherincludes one or more partition walls disposed between the pair of sidewalls. The one or more partition walls define a plurality ofcompartments corresponding to the plurality of openings. Eachcompartment is configured to receive one or more of the products whichmay, or may not, be packaged as blister packs.

In some embodiments, the front wall, rear wall, first wall, second wall,and partitions are each made of at least one of cardboard, paperboard,plastic, one or more polymers or polymeric materials, a nonwovenmaterial, a metal, an alloy, and the like. In some embodiments, thepartition walls can be repositioned or moved during use. In someembodiments, the rear wall and front wall are spaced apart by betweenabout 6 inches and about 36 inches. In some embodiments, the first andsecond side walls are spaced apart by between about 6 inches and about10 feet. In some embodiments, the product display further comprises abottom wall connected to the front wall, the rear wall, and each of theside walls. In some embodiments, the bottom wall includes at least oneof cardboard, paperboard, plastic, one or more polymers or polymericmaterials, a nonwoven material, a metal, an alloy, and the like. In someembodiments, the products placed in at least one of the compartments arein blister packs. In some embodiments, the products placed in at leastone of the compartments are not in blister packs. In some embodiments,the blister pack is held adjacent to or within the opening by anadhesive, a mechanical device, mechanical fastener, or the like. In someembodiments, each of the plurality of openings has a shape similar to ashape of the cover of the corresponding type of blister pack.

For example, inthe illustrated embodiment, each of the blister packs 104, 106completely receives a number of hooks 128 therein, respectively, and theblister pack 108 completely receives a number of scrub pads 130 therein.It should be noted that the type and/or quantity of products describedherein and shown in the accompanying figures is merely exemplary and mayvary based on application requirements.

In the illustrated embodiment, each of the blister packs 102, 104, 106,108 has a configuration substantially similar to each other. Morespecifically, the cover 112, 122, 124, 126 of each of the blister packs102, 104, 106, 108 has an overall shape similar to each other. In theillustrated embodiment, the cover 112, 122, 124, 126 of each of theblister packs 102, 104, 106, 108 has a substantially rectangular shape.In other embodiments, the cover 112, 122, 124, 126 of each of theblister packs 102, 104, 106, 108 may have any other shape, such ascircular, elliptical, and the like. For example, each of the covers 122,124 has a substantially rectangular shape with approximately similarsize. Also, the cover 126 has a substantially rectangular shape with asmaller size relative to each of the covers 122, 124. In otherembodiments, one or more aspect ratios of the cover 126 may be differentrelative to the corresponding aspect ratios of one or more of the covers122, 124.

Also, the covers 112, 126 of at least two types of blister packs 102,108 have shapes that are different from each other. As such, in theillustrated embodiment, each of the blister packs 102, 108 has aconfiguration substantially different from each other. The cover 112 ofthe blister pack 102 has a substantially stepped shape. Morespecifically, the cover 112 includes a top portion 132, a bottom portion134 and a middle portion 136. The middle portion 136 is disposed betweenthe top portion 132 and the bottom portion 134. A width “W1” of the topportion 132 is less than a width “W2” of the middle portion 136.
